In a cellular wireless communication system, the cells broadcast indications related to performance such as their available bandwidth, available data rate, available latency, available number of carriers or transmission power. At least one of the cells is a serving cell for a mobile station and at least one other cell is not a serving cell. The mobile station computes a performance metric for each detected cells, taking into account the broadcast indication and either or both of capabilities of the mobile station and available communication resources of a cell as estimated or measured by the mobile station. Based on the values of the performance metrics, the mobile station reports measurement/metrics for one or more cells to a serving cell base station. In this way the base station can know the amount of available resources in each cell suitable for handover, and can make a better handover choice for the mobile station. |
